南宁市双色中华蜜蜂探析

Analysis on the Dichroic Chinese Bee in Nanning City

近几年来,南宁的许多中华蜜蜂(以下简称中蜂)养殖场经常出现麻色蜜蜂和黄色蜜蜂混同一起的种群(简称双色群),引起中蜂养殖者的高度关注。笔者在南宁市吴圩镇(广西国有七坡林场)定地养殖中蜂十余年,每年都有少量双色蜂种群出现,为此对双色中华蜜蜂进行了详细观察、记录、验证,认为双色蜂不是一个独立品种,是外来黄色蜂种与本地麻色蜂种杂交的结果。

In recent years, many Chinese bee farms in Nanning have often seen mixed populations of brown bees and yellow bees, which have aroused great concern of Chinese bee breeders. For more than ten years, a small number of bicolor bee colonies have appeared every year in Wuwei Town, Nanning City (the state-owned Qipo Forest Farm in Guangxi). The author observed, recorded and validated the two-color Chinese bee in detail. It was concluded that the two-color bee was not an independent species, but the result of cross-breeding between exotic yellow bee species and native hemp bee species.
